Embedded Ethernet
Interface Web Page
Overview
The Ethernet Interface comes with an extremely powerful printer
management tool that allows you to monitor, configure, and
manage both the printer and its print job. The Ethernet Interface
comes with an embedded web server that allows System
Administrators and users access to its printer management
capabilities from a standard web browser.
The Ethernet Interface printer’s IP address is used as a URL,
similar to the URL of an Internet web page. When a web browser is
activated and the printer’s IP address is entered, the printer’s
embedded web server will display its home page, with links to the
printer’s status and configuration settings.
All of the Ethernet Interface’s configuration settings are protected
by a password so unauthorized users cannot make changes. When
you try to open any of the Ethernet Interface’s configuration pages,
you are asked for your user name and password. At the prompt,
you need to enter
root (unless you have another user configured
with root privileges) followed by the associated password. If there is
no password, just press
ENTER . For more information on setting
passwords, refer to “Ethernet Interface Security” on page 365.
